AN outstanding platform for unsigned acts that has been instrumental in the careers of many including the likes of Honeyblood and Hector Bizerk who set off to SXSW this month, Tennent’s Lager’s renowned T Break Stage at T in the Park is officially open for submissions.
Looking to provide an opportunity for the stellar yet unexposed acts within Scotland’s music scene, the cream of the crop from 100’s of applications shall be selected for inclusion on the 16 band line up.
Celebrating its 20th year as an aspiration for groups looking to garner wider acclaim, the panel which dictates who shall ply their trade on the hallowed stage has recently been expanded; adding Twin Atlantic manager Aimmi Dunsmuir and Hector Bizerk’s Louie to the mix.
Having performed at T Break during the formative stages of the experimental hip-hop act’s career, the frontman has stated that: “I’m quite humbled to be invited to offer my opinions on T break’s next wave of emerging talent. I think Scotland is home to some of the most innovative and exciting music in the world and I am excited to listen to all the entries. I have first-hand experience of the buzz that artists get from playing the T Break Stage and I’m really looking forward to sharing that moment with 16 new bands.”
Submissions for consideration as a T Break stage act are open from today. Those wishing to have their unsigned band eligible for inclusion can do so via the T Break website (www.tennents.com/tbreak) or Facebook page (www.facebook.com/tennentstbreak)
Those requesting a place among its illustrious ranks must submit their tracks by April 6th 2015, prior to the judges comprising a final line up in late May.
Due to our previously established partnership with the stage, Tenement TV and T Break have caught up with past performers in order to gain insight into their own thoughts and advice for future generations of T Break acts:
